Room-to-Room Luggage Transfer

[Coral Reef Diver]

One WDW trip, we stayed at two Disney hotels. When our first hotel stay ended, we left our packed bags in the room, and Disney transferred our luggage to the new hotel room, a wonderful service.

Does Disney do this for a villa-to-villa transfer?

The procedure is to bring your bags to bell services or call for assistance but your bags will be transferred to your next resort. I've never heard of leaving the bags in your room for pickup.

Disney does a great job of resort to resort transfers, but just don't expect your bags until about 4pm and your bags will not be delivered to your room until you call bell services.

That's too bad. The former procedure was more consistent with Disney's impeccable service.

you can have bell services come up to your room and get your bags. you can't just leave the bags in the room for them to pick up but you also don't have to take them down to bell services. you can call them the morning of the move or, what we've done in the past, is go down/call the night before and schedule a time.

I've done split stays multiple times over the last 8 years and we've never been able to just leave our bags in our room. Bell services will come to the room to get them, but you have to be there in order to get the ticket needed to then pick the luggage up. The ticket is your only proof that you ever gave any bags (and how many) to bell services. There is no way I would ever leave anything in a room and just assume someone was going to pick the bags up and transfer them. If they disappeared, how would you ever retrieve them?

I've been having bags transferred from resort to resort for over 10 years now.....I have never been able to leave my bags in my room for Bell Services to pick up. Geez, they won't even deliver my bags if I'm not in the room. They certainly won't enter your room if you're not there. I always take them to Bell Services myself, give them the info, and the expected tip.

That's what it's all about, the tip! I'm going to be doing a split stay in September and I know it's going to be a tip when I drop them off at CBR and a tip when I pick them up at CSR. I do remember a time when they delivered directly to my room without my calling, but i think that was many years ago. Then of course the tips when I get there and the tips when i leave. Oh well, money, money, money makes the world go around. I suspect they think since you're spending so much already to go to WDW, that what's a few extra $$$!

Tipping isn't unique to Disney.

I suspect, if they ever did transfer bags into your room, that they stopped because of complaints. Or possibly because "your" room is not "your" room until you take ownership of it. I've had rooms assignments change at the last minute. Was told my room was going to be room X but it ended up being room Y. Guessing whoever was in room X was sick or extended their stay because the Privacy Please tab never left the door.
